Liam S. replied to Alexander Connell's discussion Wolf Blitzer pushes tornado survivor to admit she thanked the lord. She tells him she's an atheist in the group Gentlemen Atheists"Awesome. "
Liam S. replied to Nathan DeParis's discussion Women: The Infallible Baromoter"I disagree that ethics necessarily reflect morals. Virtues, maybe. But manners and ethics are social constructs, not moral ones. Morals *may* come into play, but are not necessarily part of the equation. "
Michael replied to Nathan DeParis's discussion Women: The Infallible Baromoter"I would disagree about manners.
Manners are a subset of ethics, therefore ultimately morals and virtues will come into play."
Michael replied to Nathan DeParis's discussion Women: The Infallible Baromoter"Adam's assertion doesn't require analyzing how a nation treats it's women. Granted treating women appropriately ought be expected of any civilized nation just as treating any person appropriately is.
